Healthy 5 grain oatmeal with fresh fruit is a breakfast staple around here. Often I will cook up a big batch at the beginning of the week and put it in the fridge. In the morning we will quickly scoop out a serving and warm it up with some maple syrup. Add some fresh fruit and you're good to go.

Another family favorite grain is quinoa. I like to under cook it just a little so the consistency is crisp rather than mushy. This meal is great warm or chilled. Boil 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups chicken broth until tender. Prepare your chicken thighs or left over meat from last nights chicken roast. Saute minced garlic and some onion in olive oil. Add finely diced carrots and asparagus and saute for just a few minutes until slightly tender. Keep in mind that raw veggies are more nutritious than over cooked ones. The last step is to mix it all together. Quick and healthy, just the way I like it. Enjoy!
